This little road was the last climb in an ultra I rode. I can't get excited about it. It is a very small, poorly maintained path of no more than a meter. If it rained it might even be linky. Not particularly beautiful, no views. If you want to have done all the steep walls around Liege you can take this one. But I would not recommend it to the average cyclist.... read more

Dit weggetje zat als laatste klim in een ultra die ik reed. Ik kan er niet enthousiast van worden. Het is een heel klein, slecht onderhouden paadje van maximaal een meter. Als het geregend heeft is het misschien zelfs link. Niet bijzonder mooi, geen uitzichten. Als je alle loeisteile muurtjes rond Luik gedaan wil hebben kan je deze meepakken. Maar ik zou de gemiddelde fietser deze kuitenbijter niet aanraden.

Crossing the gutter and then straight into the air. Within two seconds you are in another world and your breath shoots into the air. Terribly stylish, but a real discovery!

Het gootje over en dan direct de lucht in. Binnen twee seconden ben je in een andere wereld en schiet je ademhaling de lucht in. Verschrikkelijk stijl, maar echt een ontdekking!

Not recommended. very narrow road or actually footpath. Bad road surface and quite steep.

Geen aanrader. zeer smalle weg of eigenlijk voetpad. Slecht wegdek en behoorlijk stijl.
